Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and other world leaders expected at the 2014 Nato Summit will literally take a piece of Wales home with them this September when they are given a bronze memento of the Celtic Manor showcase.

The Royal Mint has created a special commemorative piece to mark the event.

More than 150 are being produced at the organisation’s Llantrisant site and will be handed to every attending world leader. Workers are set to strike the final piece in front of dignitaries and Welsh cadets from across the forces on Wednesday.

Each bronze piece is 63mm in diameter and was designed by Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark. One side features a map of Wales with Nato Summit Wales 2014 written in English and Welsh, with the Nato logo on the other side.

Wales Office minister Baroness Randerson said: “The summit is a huge opportunity to showcase Wales and all that it has to offer on the global stage - I am confident that we can rise to the challenge.”
